In one of our most recent livestream conversations we had in my Work Smart Hypnosis community, one member posed an interesting question: whether you should respond to suggestions of relaxation - or if responding could lead to possible danger within your session. The question came right at the end of a class, so we regrouped later in the community to discuss my thoughts.

Today's episode is an audio replay of that livestream. I discuss trauma and relaxation and share why you should not jump to the absolutes or generalizations as often as some, unfortunately, may. I reveal why the word 'maybe' is the most powerful term you can apply in your hypnotic session. I share why you should point your change process to the emotions and turn your client into the story's hero by converting a negative 'because' statement into a positive one. I also discuss why you should be careful to avoid preconceived notions and go into your sessions with the expectation of listening.

“Hypnosis is not relaxation; hypnosis, by way of definition, is a process that creates a more receptive state of mind.” - Jason Linett
